Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Well technically her blood is 200 proof. So she has to stay drunk or you know, die. :\

That’s historically on par. Always appoint the least qualified sycophant for the job.

This is like an Adam Sandler movie only somehow dumber and less funny

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Musk makes Sandler look like Carlin by comparison

She apparently used to be a judge, but we all know what made him pick them.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago

She needs the money since her 401k is gone

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Buckle up Buckaroos...

Why don't they just make Fox News part of the governement. We can watch all their faces melt from the evil they create.

Talk ever see the movie Devils Advocate. You know how peoples face take on a kind of hideous look like their personalities are reflected in their face. I'm fucking Charlize Theron over here.

Does this belong on Not The Onion?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago

Being an onion writer must be an absolute nightmare right now

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

No. No more politics there.

Hahahahahahaha... Ohhhhh god.

He's going for the alcoholic appointment record.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's kind of weird how he keeps hiring drunks when he's a teetotaler himself.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe he just misses Nixon

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I dunno man have you ever watched Mad Men? I feel like, before like 1975, people just got wasted all day every day during work hours.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Hm. Good point.

Oh come on.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Jesus, why will these cunts not just die?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 2 months ago

Because apparently God is real and he's actually just a gigantic piece of shit. These people live forever and get rewarded for being absolute scum.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How many drinks does she need to take the case?

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I think twenty-four is how many are in a case?

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Got enough Botox?

Soft on crime.
